Chapter Eight

What really happened at the party?

Emily searched her bag carefully looking for her key only to realize she had lost it. She knocked on the door a couple of times.There wasn't any response. She picked up her phone to call Rosie, who picked up after the fifth attempt. She was getting impatient. Could this day get any worse?

Rosie, who was fast asleep, got woken up by her phone ringing and picked it up. “I am so sorry, hope you have not been here for a long time. I was asleep”. She explained herself.

She stepped out to assist Emily in opening the door, “What of your key, where did you keep them” she asked and looking at her properly, “What happened to your dress”.Rosie asked, shocked to see Emily looking different from the way she was when she left the house to the party.

“ It doesn't look like you had a great time, who made a mess of you like this, you don't seem to be happy”. She said, ushering her inside.

“ I don't know Rosie, am I asking for too much, I only wanted to be noticed but certainly not in this manner, I need a love that doesn't ” she said feeling like she was trying too much on herself causing her social life to fall apart. Emily said feeling extremely sad.

“Come here, Rosie said, bringing her close and giving her a warm hug. “Don't make anyone make you feel less of yourself, Emily get a grip of yourself and brace yourself, you are smart, beautiful and confident. Anybody will be lucky to have you” Rosie said assuredly.

“I am going to your office to give your boss a piece of my mind, He can't invite you to a party and make you feel bad for attending”.She said, giving Emily a glass of water to calm her nerves.

“That guy is a jerk for hurting you”.she cursed at him.

“ He didn't,” Emily interrupted her voice cracking as she collected the cup and started to drink the glass of water to calm her nerves

“ Then who the hell did it”. she asked curiously.

“ The lady he brought with him caused the fight, her name is Ashley. She accused me of flirting with him and told me I will be nothing but his puppet and I can't ever have a chance with him. Rosie, What did I do wrong here? Can anyone ever tell the heart whom to love? Why am I falling so hard and there is nobody to catch me”. She said her heart shattered into tiny million pieces.

Did Liam give this to you” Rosie asked, pointing at the suit jacket lying on the cushion.

“ Yes, he did after the fight, he asked me to go home since the party is over and she has made a mess out of me. Rosie, I am so weak, I couldn't even stand up for myself. I let this random girl walk all over me just like that”. Emily sobbed quietly using a tiny piece of handkerchief to wipe her tears.

“ You aren't dear, she just happen to lack character, what is the need fighting over a man that had not made you his own, if he is so in love with her like she claimed why are they not married, she is just mean and pathetic and trying such tk rub it off on you that's so bad of her being jealous that your boss her lover thinks highly of you, she is insecure and got to work on herself”Rosie assured her.

“ What will I have done without you? You have always been my safe place all the time, I don’t know what you will do without me”She said, embracing Rosie tightly.

“ You can count on me, and don't let any mother fucker make you cry again, your tears should be tears of joy always and not getting sad over a man ever again, if he wants you he will always come around and you will not have to do too much but to be yourself, the right one will accept you amd give you all the peace you need darling”.

“Let me go freshen up, I have a long day tomorrow, we are launching a new product and I want to put in my absolute best to make it work with Liam's expertise and my commitment, I am pretty sure we will kick start this project into the market with a huge success”.

“You still can't get your mind off work no matter what happens, Emily you need to learn how to put yourself first, it would help you in life to make better decisions”.

“ I am trying to, but work matters to me and comes first before any other thing in my life”. She replied as she picked up her laptop, ignoring her words. She leaned backwards on the arms chair, her eyes focused on the screen and her fingers rested on her chin. She sighed and scrolled down to get a few pieces of information about the project she was working on.

Okay, dear, wish you all the luck in the world. I can't wait to hear the news about how you succeeded in kicking the project to success like the previous, who wouldn't be more than glad they hire you” Rosie chipped, Emily smiled in deep admiration.

“Glams enterprise or my boss Liam, whatever ” Emily responded grinning from ear to ear. Still thinking about all that happened today between her and Ashley. Is she just being delusional? Liam hasn't even asked her and here she is fighting over him with another girl. Does she even have a chance with Liam? Remembering Rosie's advice to put herself first, that's the right thing to do? She sighed deeply if only the universe would give her a sign, just one sigh then she would be totally okay with it? The heart wants what it desires and who can stop it?
